The range of valid values is 1000 to 900000 (15 minutes). It is suggested that, unless the precise time is needed, this value be set as high as possible for better Windows performance. Removing the second display helps alleviate flicker problems. Display Width and Height: Trim or expand the display to the desired width and height. Button Functions The Hide button, hides the configure window. The Sink/Float button will bring to the top or sink the clock display. To save your settings to the WIN.INI entry [Crito's Clock Display], click the Save Setup key. And to end the program, use the end button (or a middle mouse click). Three Button Mouse Support The left button raises the window's caption. The right button shows the configuration window. And for those of you with a middle button, Clock v4.1 will terminate with a click. A Deliberate Plug If you only purchase one book this year on Windows 3.1, spend your cash on MAXIMIZING WINDOWS 3.1 by Jim Boyce (New Riders Publishing). This book will literally shed light on Windows' deepest and darkest secrets. And with over 6 megs of Windows Software, you can't loose on the cost of the book. If you want to know everything they didn't tell you in the manuals, read this book! Known Problems If you change the screen resolution downwards, the display may become positioned off the visible screen. Older versions (prior to 3.0) also had a bug when positioning the display at the very top. If problems with clock or any of my other programs that use a "display bar" arise, delete its entry in the WIN.INI file with a text editor and re-configure. An entry will be enclosed in [], like [Crito's Clock Display]. Delete that line and all other lines up to the next program name enclosed in [], or the end of file.
